Here's a complete "Take Five" guitar lesson with chord diagrams, melody, tabs on screen, analysis, scales breakdown, how to work on improvising in 5/4, and more
Hello fellow jazz guitarist!
My name is Jared. I'm a guitarist and teacher from Seattle.
I publish a lesson video every week on YouTube and a good portion of them are jazz related.
When I think the lesson might benefit the community, I also post them here.
I remember searching for lessons a long time ago looking for thorough breakdowns of everything about a song—not just how to play the melody or chords, but diving deeper, analyzing, discussing how to approach improvising over it, etc...
So that's what I've created with my jazz standards series.
This is the final lesson in that series. It's on "Take Five." It's a really fun tune to play! And it's a great opportunity to work on odd time playing.
I hope you enjoy it if you're interested in learning this tune.
Cheers and have a great week!
Jared
